Hi,

I am using a third party program that prints documents to the default printer directly and I have no control over it.

What I need to do is force one of the documents that it is printing through the manual feed tray.

Can you tell me if it is possible in VB code to change the paper source of the default printer so that I can set the printer to the manaul feed tray, call the program, and then change it back again?

Thanks,

Hammy.
 
Look at the properties of the printer object. One of them is paperbin which may be what you want. Peter Meachem
